Emails That Actually Convert

1 short story that makes you think.

Networking. I've been in Manila this week at a WordPress conference. The sheer volume of people (2k+) going to events like this is impressive (and we're not even talking about the Web Summit scale).

Tickets are very affordable, too (usually around $100 for the flagship events). If you talk to everyone, that's $0.05 per "lead".

But it only takes that one connection, that one re-connection, that could change the trajectory of your business or even your life.

It's a little-known fact, but one of my software products was acquired on the back of sponsoring an event.

Think: Are attending or even sponsoring events part of your content schedule? What unmeasurable value could you come out of an event with?

2 examples of incredible content.

1/ Can you park this?

Love or hate the process of getting a new car, but this advert stands out.

This is an iconic advert and a great tactic. Compare your offer to the competition and show how much simpler yours is.

We met up with old university friends, had a picnic in warm, muggy weather that switched between sunshine and light rain. The kids stayed up late two nights in a row. Then Monday came and they were up late again. This morning, it all...
